Getting older isn't just about arm flab or memory loss. It has its advantages like senior discounts or two for one at IHOP (between the hours of 4 and 6pm only). It's not much different than the terrible twos but without the spankings....that is unless you want one.

One door closes....

My daughter wants to get her realtor's license through an online course. Since she is dyslexic I usually assist with typing and studying. So I've been thinking that I will just take the course with her and get my license as well. It might just be an avenue for extra income when I retire or better yet facilitate an earlier retirement. Who knows?

I worked part-time at a real estate office for about eleven years. I wrote the ads for property listings and took pictures of properties. It was a great part-time job but it was 7 days a week and that was a grind on top of a full-time job. But still I enjoyed it.

Julie probably won't be ready to start the class until after Christmas break. We may do it while she is home recovering from her 3rd knee surgery. Poor kid! She has a great group of students this year so she isn't wanting to have to miss any of the school year but her doctor says it can't wait.

So, I just may leave one career and start another. Might be fun especially working with my daughter.

About Me

I am a 63 year old newly wed...I can't believe I'm saying that. After 34 years of being alone I married my best friend in the whole world on May 7, 2011. All good things are worth waiting for. My loving husband joined me as a primary caregiver to my 65 year old brother who has battled the disease of schizophrenia since he was 19 years old.
